The narrator 'scolding' the chimp in that last bit is priceless.

Almost anyone could get nostalgia for the 30's from watching Jam Handy films, even for those who know the serious troubles of the time.

Since I have nostalgia for the 30's at the moment, I decided to watch this. I must say, it's a fun and silly newsreel that is very entertaining. I loved seeing the classic cars, and I loved the fashion! Two Thumbs Up!

Subject: If This Is News, I'll Let a Chimp Drive My Car
More silly news from Chevrolet, this time featuring the latest swimsuit fashions, ski-jumping, a ferryboat run with a Chevrolet engine, more animal abuse as hunting dogs are shoved into a car trunk, a traffic school with kindergarteners in kiddie cars a la Tomorrows Drivers, a Chevrolet pulling a glider made by a high school student, and a chimp driving a car, in what has to be revenge for all the animal abuse thats gone on in this series so far. This one is even more lightweight than the others so far, which is saying something.

Vol 2 starts off with a overview of some pretty fashions for the year of 1936. More fashionable if you had a... Chevrolet Vehicle! to show it off in!
We then turn to the slopes, where skiiers and sledders, after arriving in their.. Chevrolet Vehicle! take to the hlls. Not much to report here.
Once again, Chevrolet entertains the masses and horrifes animal lovers by putting animals in precarious situations in the next clip. In this case, stuffing 2 hunting dogs in the trunk of a car. Why? who knows.
A cute young un's driving school is then profiled, with little cars and bikes learning to stop on red.
We then go to the next clip where an High School Aviation project, a glider, (we never got to make gliders in High School!!) takes to the sky after being pulled by a.... Chevrolet Vehicle!
Finally, the crowd erupts in laughter as a chimpanzee takes to the steering wheel of a... Chevrolet Vehicle! and "drives". Why? Who knows...
